Sophie Devine partner name
Talking about relationship status of Devine, she is unmarried yet. In an interview, Devine had once revealed that she is in a relationship and her partner lives in Perth, Australia. However, she did not reveal the name, and there is no such picture as well available in the public forum. Devine plays for Perth Scorchers in the Women’s Big Bash League.
Royal Challengers Bangalore secured the services of Devine for a price of INR 50 Lakh in the auction.
